Throning: Could It Be the Next Bold Dating Trend for Child-Free Women Over 40?

Have you heard of Throning? It’s the new dating trend where love takes a backseat, and “leveling up” becomes the main attraction. The concept is simple: date someone with social clout, place them on a pedestal, and bask in the reflected glory. It’s like networking, but with candlelight dinners. When I first came across this trend it raised some red flags for me, but I couldn’t help but find the concept of "throning" somewhat fascinating and provocative! 

While Millennials and Gen Z are driving this trend, can it work for child-free women over 40? Let’s explore the perks and pitfalls of throning—and whether it’s worth trading soulmates for status-mates.

Why Throning Could Work for You

1. Power Moves Only
   Dating someone with social influence can open doors, not just to high-end events but to career opportunities and valuable connections. For women over 40 who are often sidelined, this could be a strategic way to take back the spotlight.
2. Reclaiming the Narrative
   Let’s face it—society loves to tell us that our best days are behind us. Throning could flip that narrative, saying: "Actually, I’m just getting started." It’s a way to assert yourself more, redefine your goals, and unapologetically go for what you want.

But Here’s the Catch

1. Shallow Foundations
   While dating for status sounds glamorous, relationships rooted in social clout can lack emotional depth. Without genuine connection, the pedestal you’re building on might not feel so sturdy.
2. Risky Business
   Basing your identity on someone else’s prestige can backfire if things go south. The higher you climb on their pedestal, the harder the fall if they lose their status—or the relationship ends.

Can Throning Be Fun and Fulfilling?

Absolutely! For child-free women over 40, throning can be a playful way to shake up your dating life. Just remember to keep the balance. Use their influence as an accessory, not the foundation of your self-worth. You’re already the queen—you don’t need a throne to prove it.

Final Thoughts

Throning might not be for everyone, especially for those who value real genuine connections with mutual respect, but for the queen in search of a throne, it could be an opportunity to rewrite the rules of modern dating. Whether you’re in it for the fun, the connections, or the status, just remember—know your worth and that you can get your own crown if you want it. 

What do you think—worth exploring, or just another bad fleeting trend?
